This is our go-to when someone in the family isn’t feeling great. We’ve even taken it to friends who are under the weather.
Ingredients
1 3-5 lb. Chicken (pasture raised is best!)
Assorted veggies (we like carrots, celery and onions)
Salt/Pepper/Garlic
Dried parsley
Amish Egg Noodles
Directions
Place chicken in large stock pot and fill with water, making sure to cover chicken completely with water. Cut up carrots, celery, onions and garlic (or whatever veggies you like) and place in pot with chicken. Turn on high heat until pot comes to rolling boil. Once boiling, lower heat to simmer and place lid on pot, leaving venting space so as not to boil over. Simmer for several hours, or until broth has reduced and chicken falls off the bone. Remove chicken from pot and pick meat off bones. Return meat to pot, add salt and pepper to taste and dried parsley. Add noodles and cook until noodles are at desired consistency.
Serve hot with crusty bread and pastured butter.
